This is yet another story driven RTD: We will be using the classical rules, that everyone should be familiar with at this (if not, feel free to PM me).

The story:

You have lived your life peacefully in the village of Almuntahira, also called Almun for convenience, for most of your lives. It wasn't a large village, and as a result everyone know each other. Most of you have been apprenticed by the craftsmen, are squires to the old knight or have been up to trouble and have learned a skill or two along the way. However, peaceful times do not last...

It was a terrible winter, productivity was bad last year and food was short. A roving band of greenhorn bandits think this is the perfect target for their first raid, with Almun weaker than it has been for a while. The moment the raiders arrived, you took refuge along with the villagers in the abandoned fort.

It becomes apparent that the knight and his militia have been defeated, and supplies are running out. By the third day, you and five others decide to brave the outside...

Map:


The Grey building is the fort, blue buildings are residential buildings and the yellow building is the inn.

Preparation:
You may pick two skills to be a novice in and a weapon to use (made of rusty iron).

Special rules: (TBD)

I'll go to sleep now...
feel free to jump in in the meantime. I still need to devise an xp system but for the moment, being a novice means you get a crit failsafe (ie 1s to 2s).

Players:
Nirur Torir
Flintus10
Dwarmin
tehstefan
serephe
thunderclan
Dragooble

Waiting list:
Vlynndar
Jackrabbit

[Nirur Torir]

I wish to join. I'd like the skills of Herb Lore and Spearman. My weapon will be a Rusty Iron Spear.

[Flintus10]

I'll join. The skills I will use will be Swordsman and blacksmithing. My weapon will be a rusty iron sword.

[Dwarmin]

I will join, because all my other RTD's are dead. Again.

My skills shall be Cartography and Weather prediction.

Give me a Rusty Iron Stave

[tehstefan]

I want to join, my first RTD!

My skills are   Archery And Pathfinding

Weapon will be a bow with Rusty iron arrows

[serephe]

Worth a shot. I like the looks of your drawing. Simple and clean.

Animal Training and Wrestling. My weapon will be my Rusty Iron Fists.

[Nirur Torir]

Sorry I'm kind of new to this, but is there a skill list somewhere? or do we make it up?

Make it up. It's probably a good idea to get a weapon skill, as you don't want to be cutting your own foot off. The rules for turns are simple: The Game Master rolls a die to see how successful your action was. Normally a {1} is a critical failure, doing bad things. A {5} is a perfect success, while a {6} is an overshot, often resulting in damages.

My skills shall be Cartography and Weather prediction.

Interesting choice.

[thunderclan]

Count me in.

My skills will be Swordfighting and Tracking. My weapon will be a Rusty Iron Sword

[Dragooble]

i suppose i'll join, seeing as this is filling up fast and i haven't gotten back to on the rules. i'll take lockpicking and knife fighting as my skills. i start with a rusty combat knife.

[chaoticag]

I suppose this is enough player, God knows if I can handle more.

Any sort of divination skill won't have its roll displayed.

You approach the wooden doors of the fort. They are ten feet high and have a woden bar to stop people from entering. What do you do?

[Vlynndar]

Oh this I need to join.
I will know something about woodcrafting (or metal? H'm. Nah) and whatever it's called to swing flails around.

The weapon is a rusty iron flail, of course.

I'm surprised no-one said they'd use a rusty iron staff made of wood or something.

EDIT: "Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post."

GAH

[serephe]

I look around and see if there is anything of interest to me. If there is, take it.

Like say, an attack dog/wolf/anything. Or armor. Or rations/water. You know, the important stuff.

Vlyn, its called a flailerrerererer!

[Flintus10]

Guess I'll be the one to knock politely on the door and wait for a response.

[Jackrabbit]

Say, can I join? If there's too many people (which you really don't want) add me to the waiting list please!

Anyway, my skills are in axes and diplomacy and wield a singlehanded axe.

I scout the area, cautiously

[chaoticag]

Sorry Jackrabbit, but you are on the waiting list.
